Donor Testimonials

"Our children are our future, so it is important that we recognize the needs of those who are at a crossroads in their young lives and help them with the basics for living as they venture into society. As a mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, I have seen the needs of many, particularly those in foster care. My own grandson was a product of the “system” for a time but had a loving extended family for support and assistance. Unfortunately, this is not always true for many, so thankfully Hearts to Homes has stepped up to provide help.

I am so grateful to be able to support this important and necessary endeavor. Reaching a time in their young lives with no idea of the needs or funds required to furnish an apartment, Hearts to Homes has recognized this need and is to be congratulated and supported for providing some of the basic necessities to begin a new life."

"My husband and I happily support Hearts to Homes and their mission to assist our young neighbors aging out of foster care. When our children headed off into their futures, they knew that we would be there for them when they needed us. Similarly, Hearts to Homes provides essential support to young people as they leave the foster care system. When they come home and open their door, they are reminded that Hearts to Homes donors were there for them. When they cook a meal using a new frying pan or curl up in a comfy chair with a warm Hearts to Homes blanket, they know that Hearts to Homes donors were there for them. The connection to Hearts to Homes doesn't end with furnishings. They provide an avenue to connect to mentors, explore career development opportunities, and other ways to keep in touch. The future is easier to venture into with a supportive organization like Hearts to Homes."

"Having helped four children secure and furnish first apartments, we know how daunting that move can be, both physically and financially. Without a family to support them, it may be impossible for some young adults. That's why Hearts to Homes is so valuable; the compassionate team not only provides physical goods, but caring support to aid these young adults as they establish independent lives--a service that you cannot put a price on."

Patty & Paul Lee

"Hearts to Homes is an invaluable resource making a tremendous difference in the lives of the young men and women that they service. The ability to purchase home furnishings, simple kitchen supplies, and other household needs are something most of us take for granted. For young men and women aging out of foster care — and with their whole lives before them — Hearts to Homes takes a large burden off their shoulders and helps place them on a path to success where they may focus on building their future. The love, care, and dedication of Hearts to Homes to its mission is incomparable, and we are grateful to play a small part as donors."

"How difficult it must be to start out on one’s own without family support and resources. That’s where Hearts to Homes work begins!  They step into that role for many young adults aging out of foster care and the positive impact they have on these young lives is powerful. Knowing that my contribution helps provide essential furniture and household items to those starting fresh fills me with joy.  It’s amazing to see empty apartments turned into cheerful homes.
 
Hearts to Homes exemplifies compassion in action, and I’m honored to support their work."
